Electronic Gadgets Produce Junk Sleep

Call it enthusiasm and excitement whenever a yuppie would get his hands on the latest gizmos or gadgets such as an iPod or a Wii. Sleep will surely be foregone since the important thing above all is to explore extensively these gadgets until they get the hang of it.Hence, “Junk Sleep” is the product of such foregone sleeping patterns. Instead of getting the required 8 hours of sleep, kids ranging between 12 to 16 would usually make do with 4 to 7 hours of sleep, way beyond the necessary respite that bodies and brains would need. The result is of course obvious. Lack of sleep means waking up groggy and having to combine the senses and make sure that they still have sanity and awareness when they are awake.
The Edinburgh Sleep Centre’s Dr Chris Idzikowski warned: “This is an incredibly worrying trend. What we are seeing is the emergence of ‘Junk Sleep’ - that is sleep that is of neither the length nor quality that it should be in order to feed the brain with the rest it needs.

While the issue of sleep apnea for victims who have been battling the problem for some time may be remedied more or less through medication and sleeping gadgets, it should not be forgotten that their partners or loved ones may be encountering difficulties in sleeping as well since they have to look after them. Such is a reality and people may either contract the same sleeping problem or a more severe health concern.Hence, observing sleep apnea patients does not end there. It should also include looking after the caretakers who are suffering altogether. From a glance it would all seem like sleep apnea is indeed contagious but I guess this would depend on how people would go about taking care of their loved one suffering from the said sleep disorder.
